This first survey of Czech avant-garde photography introduces the important work of Frantisek Drtikol, Jaromir Funke, Jaroslav Rössler, Jindøich Styrský, Josef Sudek, and numerous others whose work made Czech photography synonymous with visions of modernity. The essays introduce the period and explore the background and connections among the photographers. Biographical profiles are also included. But the book's main attraction is its outstanding collection of duotone and color images, many published here for the first time. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Czech edition of this book received the \"Best Photographic Publication of 1999-2000\" award from Primavera Fotográfica in Barcelona and from Month of Photography in Bratislava and was one of six finalists for the 2001 Kraszna-Krausz Photography Book Award.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"The MIT Press","offers":[{"title":"Czech Photographic Avant-Garde, 1918-1948 | Vladimir Birgus | Hardcover | 9780262025164 | Used: Like New | Back Stacks D 1741386","offer_id":48168898560152,"sku":"1741386","price":13.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/61TfvOwlzFL.jpg?v=1771981427","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/czech-photographic-avant-garde-1918-1948","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
